Which outcome arises when Viking longship sails experience submersion?

💡 Explanation

Saturated sails significantly increase ship weight due to water absorption by fibers via capillary action; therefore maneuverability diminishes rapidly, rather than disintegration or corrosion which require extended exposure or aren't directly relevant upon submersion.
